The Corona virus has once again hit members of the United States Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting President Donald Trump, President-elect Joe Biden and the White House, US media reported on Friday.
The Washington Post reported that more than 130 Secret Service agents had contracted the Coronavirus, which causes the Covid-19 epidemic, or were in quarantine due to their contact with infected people.
According to France Press, this outbreak of the Coronavirus occurred between Secret Service agents after many of them traveled in the context of electoral rallies with the current president and Republican candidate Trump, during which most officials and assistants were without masks.
These injuries also occur after several events in the White House during the last three weeks, including a party organized on the occasion of the November 3 elections, which was also characterized by the fact that most of the attendees were without masks.
Later, several officials were informed of the “positive” results of the Covid-19 tests they underwent, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
For its part, The New York Times said that in recent weeks at least 30 Secret Service agents have been confirmed to have COVID-19.
